The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) has dismissed reports that Peter Nwachukwu, husband of the late gospel singer, Osinachi, and suspected kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala (a.k.a. Wadume) are missing.
The Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, Chukwuedo Humphrey, who disclosed this said it was untrue that both men escaped during the July 5 jailbreak at Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre, Abuja.
He stated this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
Chukwuedo said the clarification became necessary in view of information circulating.
“The story is false, reckless and mischievous. They are still in custody. Efforts are ongoing to recapture all fleeing inmates.
“The Controller-General, NCoS, Haliru Nababa, is determined to continue to upscale inmates’ welfare and safety”, he added.
